Leeds Half Marathon

Posted by Selina Deeney on September 15, 2017

The Plusnet Leeds Half Marathon – which last year celebrated its 30th anniversary - is one of the highlights on Leeds’s sporting calendar thanks to its challenging course, enthusiastic crowds and fantastic atmosphere.

7,000 people took part in the 2015 run raising tens of thousands of pounds for hospices across Yorkshire and other good causes. The 2016 event takes place on Sunday May 8th and places will once again be in demand.

The route starts in The Headrow alongside Victoria Gardens, heads out of the city centre, takes in a section of the Ring Road and returns via Abbey Road and Kirkstall Road before finishing in Cookridge Street alongside Millennium Square.
